HONK! Returns in ‘09!

HONK!

Everyone’s been asking, and here’s the happy answer: the HONK! Festival returns to Somerville for another Columbus Day weekend, this October 9-11th!

Similar to past festivals, we will feature a brass band convergence in Davis Square all day Saturday, and a parade down Mass Ave. on Sunday afternoon.

Mark your calendar, and tell everyone you know that there are some exciting changes to be anticipated this October:

We are also planning something new this year — a Friday afternoon honk in nearby neighborhoods, in collaboration with community groups from the culturally diverse areas of East Boston, Roxbury, Dorchester and Jamaica Plain. And we’re delighted that this year’s Sunday night blowout concert will be held in Davis Square’s beautiful and renowned Somerville Theatre.

Interested in getting involved?  Boston-area locals are invited to a Community Meeting on Thursday, May 28th, from 7 PM to 8:30 PM at the West Branch Library in Davis Square, 40 College Ave.

Disclosure: I am a member of the HONK! Festival organizing committee, and helped put on last year’s event.  You can see our coverage of it here.
